Hi Noel, how fascinating!!
I would like to know where the name Oades came from, as I believe his mother's maiden name was Horswell - it is SO unusual I think it could take you back a generation perhaps.
I have sent a message to Jigsawpuzzler and am holding my breath for her to step in as she is a direct descendant and knows much more than I do.
It may be that she can find a whole line of Charles, for while I don't have any on the tree I constructed, mine is limited by the specific Rowse interest.
Are you aware of naming patterns? There was a tendency to name first son for paternal grandfather, second for father, (or maternal grandfather,) then third for maternal gf (or father). Likewise for girls, starting with maternal grandmother, and so on.
Eagerly watching this space...........
